Okay? That was the rules of the organization. If Gurley wanted to sell jerseys, go sell jerseys. But you can't play football within the confines of the NCAA. Why are you against freedom of choice?

Besides, there was absolutely no market for Gurley's services without the NCAA or University of Georgia. None.

This is the only interesting part of the lawsuit. I bet if it goes to court this part of the liquidated damages is set aside by the court as being unreasonable because it seems it’s pretty clear it’s intended as punitive damages.

If you sign the contract then you’re a big boy and you have to fulfill it.

Not a lawyer, but I think Georgia loses this one unless they can prove the damages.

ETA: I think I read that penalty clauses aren't allowed so they tied a penalty amount under liquidated damages.
